Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Karramarro in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a tough stretch ahead. The first week is basically dead. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th have tiny 2 to 2ft windswell from the NW with weak energy, and while you might catch a glassy moment, the waves are too small to surf. Tuesday and Wednesday stay the same—waist-high junk with cross-onshore breezes messing up any chance of a clean ride.
Thursday the 9th morning goes glassy with a 2ft WNW swell, but it’s still poor. Friday the 10th gets a little bumpy, and Saturday the 11th morning has a clean cross-offshore wind on a 2ft swell, but again, it’s tiny.
Sunday the 12th sees a bump to 3 to 4ft from the NW with moderate energy (192), but the wind is light cross-onshore and the surf quality is still poor. That longer period (10 seconds) might make it a bit straight at this point break.
The real pulse hits Friday the 17th morning: 6ft from the WNW with a short 7-second period and energy at 282. That’s the biggest swell of the forecast, but it’s lumpy windswell and the rating is only marginal. Wind is light cross-shore, so it won’t be a total washing machine, but it’s not clean. For experts, it might offer a few ugly ones, but expect closeouts.
After that, it’s back to tiny 2ft or less through to Monday the 20th, with glassy mornings but no punch.
There is no true standout. Friday the 17th is the only day with any real size, but the quality just isn’t there. Water temp is 75°F, which is much warmer than average for July—over 7°F above normal. That’s very unusual.
Given this break is inconsistent and rarely fires, a long stretch with no good surf is pretty normal here. Don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
